* AndIMustScream: His [[spoiler:first evolution to a shifter]] is described as very excruciating. [[spoiler:He was saved from his agony by the TimeCrash, which might explain why he wants to sabotage attempts to stop it.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:He's mastered his time manipulation abilities to such an extent that he can go anywhere, in anytime, in any timeline. His motives are extremely vague, and possibly incomprehensible, but it has something to do with ensuring the End of Time and evolving humanity beyond its current limitations.]]

* BadBoss: Is very quick to send his own employees to their deaths or even kill them himself in pursuit of his enigmatic objectives. An employee email in the Control timeline even compares him to Darth Vader.

Added DiffLines:

* WorfHadTheFlu: In the timeline where he fights Jack, he's already wounded by the time they meet. This leaves him slightly more of a threat than the average Striker, but not as much as the live-action episodes suggest he would be if he were in top shape.

* DespairEventHorizon: Beth gets hit with this ''hard'' after [[spoiler:being sent to the End of Time by Dr. Amaral. Seeing proof that the End of Time was coming, and with it the certainty that it couldn't be stopped and everything she's been training for since her childhood was in vain makes her extremely jaded and hardened when Jack finds her in 2010.]]

Added DiffLines:

* LargeHam: He tends to get very loud if he's pissed off.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: It's not so subtly implied that he and Sofia Amaral have feelings for one another. It becomes more pronounced if the player chooses the "Trust Sofia" and "Control" junctions.


Added DiffLines:

* HotScientist: Enough to get Paul interested in her.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: If the player chooses the "Trust Hatch" junction and/or the "Surrender" junction, she ends up getting either strangled or bludgeoned with a paperweight to death courtesy of an unhinged paranoid Paul]].

Added DiffLines:

* {{Determinator}}: No matter how much he sees otherwise, he simply ''refuses'' to accept that YouCantFightFate. The closest he comes is in act 5: [[spoiler:while rescuing Will from the library in the past, a stutter occurs and he sees Beth. He considers freeing her to save her from her death later on, but doesn't. And he still says to her, "I'll come back for you."]]
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When Monarch comes to get him from the university, he puts up far more of a fight than they were expecting, even before his powers fully manifest.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousDisorder: He doesn't always keep a clear train of thought (a lot of his explanations about time travel keep coming back to eggs, much to his chagrin) and he sometimes behaves oddly (to the point of correcting a physics equation while in the middle of running from Monarch soldiers), but he's ''very'' intelligent. A Monarch dossier speculates that he has some form of schizophrenia, but nothing certain is ever said.

* Delinquents: According to narrative objects you can pick up and read throughout the game, Jack has lived a rather troubled life. His parents were both killed in a car accident in Christmas of 1999 and his only known relative is his brother, Will Joyce, but after the death of his parents, the two started to become rather distant. After his parents died, he decided to raise himself as he became more and more distant to his brother. He has been arrested on numerous charges of grand theft auto, simple assault and theft attempts. He was also arrested in 2015 for weapons-related charges but the charges were dropped for an unknown reason.
